Have You Played With These?

Who remembers strapping these clunky contraptions onto their Sunday shoes and tearing down the sidewalk like Evel Knievel on four wheels? They weren’t exactly smooth—and let’s be honest, you probably needed a wrench and a prayer to tighten them up—but boy, were they fun! First one to name these blasts from the past in the forum wins full bragging rights! What are they called? From vintage toys to old-school tunes, what’s your most nostalgic discovery? Share it here!

The answer is ROLLER SKATES. Me and my older brother of 2 years had pairs of them. Hours and hours of fun for years! My older brother grew out of skating and handed his pair to my 2 year younger brother. We kept going back to them for years after. My younger brother took the wheels off both of our skates. We used them to put together 2 cheaply made skate boards! Those were the only skate boards we ever had. They worked better than I expected! Yea for the minds of kids!
